Mercury Retrograde in Aries is over.

Mercury Retrograde in Aries is over. Please Resume normal madness

Current Transits for the week of April 1 2018

The week following Easter Sunday will produce a powerful configuration of planets. The conjunctions of the personal planets (Sun, Mercury in Aries and Mars in Capricorn) One Social Planet (Saturn and) and one Outer Planet (Pluto in Capricorn) may make for a challenging month. Currently, we are engaged in Mercury Retrograde in the sign of Aries. Couple it with the Sun and Uranus, both in Aries and the first week of April promises to be one wild ride. (For more info about the retrograde read my article Round and Round)

Planets that are relatively close to with another tend to blend their energies together and, depending upon the nature, make for an easier or harder transit. Known as an Orb, anytime planets are within 8° degrees each other, while not conjunction, still have effect upon one another. In classic Astrology, planets were described as having natures that inclined towards positive or negative aspects. Those aspects were described as being Benefic (beneficial) or Malefic (detrimental). For example, Jupiter and Venus are classified as Benefic and Pluto and Saturn classified as Malefic.

To better help understand which transits will be easier or harder, let’s use these terms. Uranus (Malefic), tends to produces conditions of instability and struggle during its transits. It will, at this time, push you out of your comfort zones and shake up that which has grown staid and stale in your routines. Uranus’ malefic influence may aggravate and energize your thinking (Mercury) and Consciousness (Sun), with passionate, new ideas and direction. While this may be positive to some extent, the only caveat is that you should find a way to document and preserve this new information and wait until after the Retrograde concludes on April 15 to initiate such ideas

Speaking of Uranus, its occupation of the same area(House) as the conjunction of Mercury and the Sun in Aries may make for a troublesome week. Add to that Mars and Saturn in Capricorn (both Malefic, producing aspect known as square) and you’ll need patience, diligence and a measure of calm at this time.

Also, at this time, Venus (Benefic) has entered the sign of Taurus, a sign of its Rulership.

A Rulership, in Astrology, is a harmonious alignment a planet and sign of a similar nature. This Rulership strengthens the planets affect upon us, giving us greater awareness of its presence. While Taurus is a much better placement for Venus than Aries, the Orb of Uranus may add an edge of agitation to your relationships and emotional interactions for the next few days. On the other hand, the benefit of Venus’s Orb is that in its serene, compassionate energy will ease the aggressive, abrasive forces of Uranus in wherever Aries lies in your Natal chart.

With Mars, Saturn and Pluto all occupying Capricorn (All Malefic) , much of the month of April may be a time of conflict, change and growth. With these intense, Karmic forces close together, the potential to overextend and overexert oneself is great. You should endeavor to focus on long range goals and avoid seeking swift, easy resolutions to problems. Besides, the retrograde may delay your actions, so you are encouraged to take your time. Strive to work with the Venus in Taurus’ energy where you can, staying grounded and focused upon the value of the people, places and things.

Neptune is also in the sign of its Rulership, Pisces, giving it a stronger effect. With Neptune in this position, at this time heal old hurts, pursuit or rekindle past dreams and endeavors that reaffirm your hopes and beliefs. Neptune will enhance emotional sensitivities, so depending on where Pisces is in your chart, work to remain objective and detached in the face of such matters.

Jupiter is currently retrograde in Scorpio. It may narrow your perspective, not allowing you to see the larger dimension of your desires. In light of the other Retrograde (Mercury) consider to what extent you are willing to go to accomplish said desires. During Planet Jupiter‘s transit through Scorpio, reevaluate these concerns and how you may best go about fulfilling them.

The current group of Transits may challenge and push you at time to your limit. Know your limit and employ common sense, patience and diligence to achieve and ensure success.

Think Pink: Pink Libra Full Moon

On the cusp of the Easter Holiday comes the Libra or the Pink Full Moon. The name of Pink Full Moon comes to us from Native Americans via The Farmer’s Almanac; it is representative of the color of flowers of the springtime. The Moon will wax full in the sign of Libra March 31st 8:37 AM EDT/ 5:37 Am PDT. Lunar Transits last about 3 days (April 2)

Libra, whose ruling planet is Venus, Is a sign that seeks personal understand and self enlightenment through interactions with others. Diplomats of the Zodiac, it is an air sign devoted to compatibility and companionship. At its best, Libra is observant, adaptive and attentive. At their worst, Libra can be self-indulgent, superficial and indecisive.

The Libra Full Moon focuses upon matters related to the Moon but in a way that is balanced and detached. As it is an airy moon or a moon influenced by an air sign, it is can be at odds with the often watery, emotional nature of the Moon. So, if in the next three days you might find yourself balancing your own concerns and those of loved ones. Do you need to feed yourself or others? Do you need more emotional connect with or less? These are issues which may arise at this time.

Full moons are good times for initiating or launching of projects. The waxing energy tends to promote and nurture such activities. It also provides numerous ways to achieve likely success. At this time, you’ll be directed to that which you care about most and ask to eliminate that which does not serve you. The current Mercury Retrograde in Aries and the squaring aspect of Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn to the Libra Moon may make any new project somewhat challenging at this time, so follow through on previous efforts wherever possible. Venus’ entry into Taurus may serve to strengthen the Libra’s sensitive, compassionate energies, easing the chaotic elements of the next three days.

Libra, the moon may ask that you state your needs most directly. While it may not be the most comfortable thing, the Pluto/Saturn squares might just compel you to do so. Operating with honesty and genuineness may prove both cathartic and refreshing to you and those you love.

Aries, this is a time to consider the needs your of partners and significant others. What are they saying? What might they have to say? Listening closely to your intimates may be the most important thing you can do at this time. In keeping with the current Retrograde wherever possible, repair and restore connections with those you are closest to.

Cancer and Capricorn, You may be asked to endeavor to resolve some matter will benefit you and loved ones. Engaging in the matter may invite difficulty, but the time you devote to the challenge may offer great benefits for some long standing need related to you and those you most care about most.

The flowering of the Pink Moon should help you make necessary adjustments and changes for you and loved ones. Let the Libra Full moon show you the light of balance

Round and Round: Mercury Retrograde in Aries

On March 22, 2018 Mercury will begin it retrograde motion in the sign of Aries, beginning at 7:19 pm EDT/ 4:19pm PDT. Mercury will then go direct on April 15 at 5:21 am EDT/2:21 am PDT. It will spend the whole of its time in the sign of Aries and will be a lengthy retrograde, lasting nearly four weeks (not including the shadow effects which occur before and after the retrograde).

Aries is a sign that seeks enlightenment through ego assertion and self realization. As its best, Aries are self reliant, resolute and courageous. At their worst, Aries’ can arrogant, rash and vain. Its ruling planet, Mars, fosters the fight or flight impulse, demanding direct action to resolve problems or issues. It is a force that governs the energies of vitality, passion and empowerment.

Mercury, in Astrology, governs thought, communications, short term travel and concepts. In conjunction with Aries it urges one to review past choices and decisions with an eye towards the future.

What must you do to put your life more in line to who want to be? Are their traits you’d like to change about yourself? This retrograde may help you affect a general self improvement program, allowing you to reveal aspects of your inmost self in outwardly way.

Remember, Retrogrades are not the time to initiate new endeavors, but review past ones

Real change should be made after the transit ends on April 15^th. Things may change during this period, but take your cue from issues that arise during the transit. You may need to make some adjustments at this time, but leave off radical changes until after the transit ends.

This particular retrograde may prove helpful in your spring cleaning efforts as it has an element of clearing away that which is extraneous or superfluous, paring things down to that which is most essential.

Mercury’s reversal in course can at time prove chaotic. As the planet Mercury governs devices for communication (phones, TV’s computers, correspondence, etc) it retrograde might cause these items to malfunction or delay their use. Prepare for upsets and postponement of your to plans and efforts. A sense of humor and a large measure of patience is often a remedy to some of the dilemma’s one confronts during a retrograde.

Aries, the next few week may ask you to reverse course in some significant area of your life, revisit some matter you thought you’ve settled. The purpose of this exercise is repair something meaningful and useful to you. This work may provide an emblem toward a major shift in your life.

Libra, you may be required to get back to your roots, your core self at this time. Chiefly, to find what you require, as Libra can be focus upon the needs of others. The balance of the scales might just need to be tipped in your favorite at this time. Plan on settling old debts

Cancer and Capricorn, frustrating and nagging elements just might be urging you to step back and fall into alignment with that which is basic and essential to who you are. Solving core issues may help you reassert something important in your life. Step out of comfort zones when urged to by Mercury

There are activities that tend benefit from Retrogrades. Creative projects tend to do well, specifically ones close to completion. Spiritual and metaphysical activities do well during Retrogrades. Short term travel at this time may prove helpful, breaking up routines and offer one a chance to rethink former positions. Given the highly personal part of this retrograde, a little down time might just be in order.

As Mercury sojourns through Aries territory, reclaim a vital part of who you are and what you stand for. Let Mercury Retrograde in Aries usher in a time of restoration and renewal.

Stuff of Dreams New Moon in Pisces

March 15^th will begin the moon waning in the sign of Pisces. The waning or New Moon is the moon at its lowest ebb, asking us to take stock of what’s going on in our lives and to prepare the new cycle when the Lunar energies builds or wax toward the next full moon.

Pisces is a mutable water sign that is both spiritual and intuitive. It seeks to unify the realms of the unconscious and spiritual concerns with consensus reality and day to day living. As the sun and the Planet Neptune currently inhabit Pisces, This may prove to be a very emotional sensitive and demanding time with regard to ones’ feelings. Where possible, seek to remain grounded and detached, avoiding being swept up by the moody, depressive energies Neptune can sometimes engender.

The Moon’s places our focus upon needs (food, security, and emotional support). The New Moon in Pisces seeks to bring spiritual yearning in alignment to ones practical needs. What will feed your body and your soul? This Moon may, through the devices of fantasy and dreams, point to you most urgent needs.

New Moons, which last for three days, are times for completion of one’s efforts and readying oneself for the next lunar cycle. Finishing projects, concluding outstanding business and determining the effectiveness of previous efforts are good uses of New Moon energies. You are also encouraged to get good rest at this time, taking stock of personal needs in anticipation of coming days ahead. As the Sun and moon are both in Pisces, the greatest need maybe finding that which may rouses your spirit and restore your faith.

Pisces, what is it that you lack for? What are you missing? This New Moon doesn’t require immediate actions, but it may ask for contemplation for just such concerns. Addressing your need at this time may be the most important thing can do for yourself.

Virgo, The new moon may find your energies at low ebb or in need of restoration. Use this time to get back on track or in touch with that which will aid such efforts.

Sagittarius and Gemini, some important emotional matter may require your direct attention. Provide as much care as you can to the matter, mindful of what you attend to now maybe one thing to struggle against later on

The New Moon in Pisces may ask you to examine what you believe in and what you need. Seek to heal and nurture that which will lift your spirits.
